| sensitive species | <ecology, zoology> Species that can only survive within a narrow range of environmental conditions and whose disappearance from an area is an index of pollution or other environmental change. Those species which rely on specific habitat conditions that are limited in abundance, restricted in distribution, or are particularly sensitive to development. Plant or animal species which are endangered species, or candidate species, protected bird species under endangered species laws and regulations, plant protection laws and regulations, Fish and Game codes, or species of special concern listings and policies, or species recognised by national, state, or local environmental organisations.

| sensitivity | <microscopy> Similar to responsively of an image pickup tube but numerically different. The signal current developed in an image pickup tube per unit incident radiation density (watt per unit area) or illuminance (lux on the faceplate). Unless otherwise specified, the radiation is understood to be that of an unfiltered incandescent source at 2854 or 2856[[macron]]K. (05 Aug 1998) |
| sensitivity and specificity | Measures for assessing the results of diagnostic and screening tests. Sensitivity represents the proportion of truly diseased persons in a screened population who are identified as being diseased by the test. It is a measure of the probability of correctly diagnosing a condition. Specificity is the proportion of truly nondiseased persons who are so identified by the screening test. It is a measure of the probability of correctly identifying a nondiseased person. (12 Dec 1998) |
